SOL leads top 10 crypto in daily performance
At the time of writing, Solana was trading at $125, showing a 6% gain in 24 hours and outperforming other major cryptocurrencies. Weekly performance also remained positive, with a 4% increase. The rally began after SOL found support at $95.16 on April 7 and resumed momentum following a brief dip on Thursday.
Data from Santiment highlighted Solana as one of the most discussed altcoins entering the weekend. Social media activity focusing on SOL’s price action, trading strategies, and market movement saw a sharp increase. This growing attention has helped drive its trading volumes and sustained interest from investors.
If the current rebound holds, analysts see the potential for Solana to test the 50-day simple moving average at $132.14. A break beyond that level could open a path toward $153. However, if the price reverses and falls below $110, the token may revisit its April 7 low of $95.
